I guess giving away the checkered flag is not the substitute for having a personality – or is it a monkey-see-monkey do behavior? Ryan Blaney is really cool and popular and he gives away the flag. I’ll give it away too.

Daniel Hemric says they’ll get a week off and hopefully he will get his mental state in a better place, because his mistakes over the last two weeks has him in a bad place.
